Light pink fresh water pearls rest on each side of a silky smooth & luminous seashell, crowned with a glistening moonstone. This elegant, attractive, & very feminine necklace includes a gorgeous, distinct 16” sterling silver chain, and represents the ultimate in class, grace, & poise.

Tiger on Fire

2010-04-24T22:13:00.000-07:00

~ ~ ~

Motivated by the YEAR OF THE TIGER, this piece showcases 2 tiger’s eye gemstones alongside 4 tiger’s eye round beads. The pendant includes 4 moonstones & tiny glistening glass beads, which encircle 2 classic white fresh water pearls dangling from the center. The shapes & lines of this piece resonate with the numerology of the year 2010.

An extra long, radiant, 30” sterling silver chain allows the pendant to rest at the solar plexus when worn, designed to stimulate the 3^rd chakra, the energy center for strength & willpower. Stimulating this energy center as the pendant bounces against the body will encourage the wearer to take action towards turning his or her dreams into a reality.

Mystical round hematite beads and royal amethyst gemstones patterned in groups of 3 offer distinctive style that integrates a love for high fashion with a desire toward natural environments. When worn around the wrist, this sterling silver magnetic bracelet offers not only majestic beauty, but also supports the natural circulation and flow of the body to encourage equilibrium and stability. Especially good for those using a computer or cell phone often, hematite is known to clear magnetic fields of radioactive congestion and return the environment to a sense of energetic balance.

This attractive, bold, and unique pair of sterling silver earrings includes classic white fresh water pearls & mystically metallic hematite gemstones with iridescent moonstone beads that guide intuition and frame three pieces of lapis lazuli gemstones. The dynamic tension in the dark/light colors aligned on each end is designed to encourage balance between yin/yang energies, while the solid number 3 in the center represents harmony of the mind, body, and spirit.
